I sent the following message to the list, but pasted a family outline that was too large for space limits. So, I cut it down to three generations and am sending it again. Hi all you Boyds and Kin, Are you or do you know a living Male Boyd descendant of the Nathan Boyd (1760) branch of South Carolina Boyds? This is the family that is quite well documented in an LDS Ancestral file starting down from John Boyd (1740) and Jane Barnardoe from Ireland. Names of descendants include Joseph, David, George, Thomas, James, and Lemuel (note that Lemuel is uncommon among Boyds). Some of these South Carolina Boyds stayed in South Carolina while others migrated to Louisiana and other places. I will sponsor Y-DNA 10 marker samples for at least two of these Boyds. We have reason to believe that these Boyds are connected to our Ontario, Canada Boyds (see http://homepages.rootsweb.com/~lboyd/) and to a family of Boyds who settled in Missouri (under construction). We can do this through Cal Boyd's Boyd Y-DNA Project at http://www.geocities.com/boyddna/. Lots of fun and nothing to lose - and besides you might discover all kinds of Boyd kin. Below is a three-generation outline of that large South Carolina Boyd family. The complete file exists in John Boyd's great Boyd World Connect archive at http://worldconnect.rootsweb.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?db=boyd-trees. By the way, I am a living testimony of the great potential of Y-DNA genealogy. After 25 years of document and interview research on you Boyd family we hit the proverbial brick wall and stayed there until I submitted a Y-DNA sample to Cal Boyd's project. Only recently and out of the blue a got a message that this person's uncle matched my DNA. This was a Boyd that we would never have picked out of the 200-300 Boyds on this planet through document research alone. This Boyd lives in Missouri. We did a 37 marker test to be certain and it was a perfect match. The significance of this event is that there was a branch of our Boyds who settled in the United States, not Canada - that we knew nothing about. Now, the fun begins. We traced this family back to a Lemuel M. Boyd of Missouri, born about 1825 in Jefferson County, MO, married to Rachel Harden (Hardin or Harding). We cannot identify his father and thereby trace that line back to County Armagh, Northern Ireland where w! e think we will find our common ancestor. While we continue this route, we are pursing the DNA approach on the South Carolina Boyds. This family also has a Lemuel M. Boyd and other similarities to the Missouri Boyds and our Ontario Boyds. Please get in touch if you are one of these Boyds or have any leads to one.

L, Sorry, I am a female, but have two brothers - we are in the Aaron Boyd/Judie Henry line. What is this Y-DNA thing and what does it involve? I may can talk one of them into doing this, but I would like more information.
